12. Wearing Shabbos clothing during the week:[1]
It is forbidden [due to custom[2]] to wear Shabbos clothing during the nine days with exception of Shabbos or for a Mitzvah occasion, as explained next. [This refers to clothing that are exclusively worn on Shabbos and Yom Tov. One may, however, wear nice clothing that are not designated to be worn only on Shabbos, even if they are also worn on Shabbos.[3]]
_______________________________________________[1] Rama 551:1 “By a Mila the custom is for the Baal Bris to wear Shabbos clothing, although otherwise it is forbidden.”; Pashut from the fact some Poskim rule even on Shabbos Chazon it is forbidden, and even those who permit only do so because of Kavod Shabbos. However, to wear it during the week everyone agrees is forbidden due to Aveilus.
[2] Bigdei Yesha, brought in Kaf Hachaim 559:65; See however Ashel Avraham Butchach Mahadurah Tinyana 551 who differentiates between a weekday and Shabbos
